Because you can't learn to love anything genuine, if you don't love yourself first

Why Self-Love Should Be An Important Factor In Your Life

Self-love is one of the strongest traits a person can have. You're with it as a little human-being and gradually, over time, you face different milestones in your life that can alter that self-love you endured as a child. I like to believe when I look at such things around me, whereever I may be at the time. When I look, I capture. I capture memories I love, dislike, wish I could go back in time and change. But that would mean you've still left a window open, in your heart, that's allowed to break you, shape you or alter your way of thinking whenever you think of that memory.

To be able to love yourself entirely throughout this life, means you're allowed to make mistakes as a human and still love the person you are after.

If there is anything I learned growing up with a variety of meaningful and non-meaningful memories, ones I wish I could take back. It does not mean it defines you, or any action you've made, or anything that is stopping you from loving the person you are today.

It's important to be aware of the person you are today, in order to love yourself from here on. It means you can tackle anything, and allow yourself to break in difficult scenarios and not be the person you are when you're full of emotions, simply because...your self-love overcomes it all.

Your ability to acknowledge bad scenarios, and unwanted feelings gives you room and strength that you didn't ask for. To believe in yourself every day and know since you love yourself, you can never be defined by another human beings action. Whether it's a negative or positive impact on yourself, the self-love you endure and achieve more of every day is now defining the beautiful person you were set out to be. So remember, to love you because their is no one else out there who can be you and have the same mind as you. Flaunt it, own it, and believe in yourself everyday because you are worth it. 0-100, real quick folks.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
